UPDATE: I have now watched part of this movie in the full frame version. My fears were confirmed. It doesn't work the way it was intended. The alternate versus simultaneous presentations of the two points of references negates the effect intended and makes it much less of a success. By all means, get the widescreen version.
I admit I have not seen this version of the movie, but stay with me, please, plenty of reviews exist for the widescreen version. The cover says that they released this version in full screen. Since the dual frame/screen technique used in this film would be unwatchable in that format it appears that they separated the two frames and then stitched them together, showing one frame at a time and then jumping back and forth. While that worked well in "Sliding Doors", the premise of that movie was that you were seeing two alternate versions of the same events, depending on which way a certain key moment went early in the picture. Here, the two screens are showing the same event from two different perspectives, mostly simultaneously (except for the occasional, "present day/flashback" moment), and so presenting it in this version destroys a major non-verbal part of the story.
The only reasons I can fathom for buying this version would be an obsessive distaste for widescreen (which some people have), or it is going to be watched on a screen so small that both frames would be so tiny they couldn't be easily viewed.
